Energy Storage System (ESS) for Compensating Unbalanced Multi-microgrids Using Modified Reverse Droop Control

The connection of single-phase microgrids (MG) and loads to three-phase MGs creates power quality problems such as unbalanced voltage and voltage rise at the point of common coupling (PCC) of the MGs.

Description
Summary:The connection of single-phase microgrids (MG) and loads to three-phase MGs creates power quality problems such as unbalanced voltage and voltage rise at the point of common coupling (PCC) of the MGs. In this paper, a modified reverse droop control (MRDC) scheme in the Energy Storage System (ESS) is proposed to improve the three-phase PCC voltage quality in multi-microgrids (MMG). The MRDC consists of a reactive power compensator (RPC) and a voltage compensator. The controller regulates the reactive power and voltage unbalance of the MMG by using the reactive power produced by the ESS. The effectiveness of this proposed scheme is verified in real-time simulation using the Opal-RT OP5600 real-time simulator. The voltage unbalance factor (VUF) at the PCC is decreased from 3.6 percent to 0.25 percent, while the reactive power is reduced significantly at the single-phase load.
